The 16th Songshan Lake China IC Innovation Summit Forum grandly opened on June 3 in Songshan Lake, Dongguan, under the theme: "Innovative ICs for 'AI Glasses'." As a premier annual event in the domestic chip industry, the forum is jointly organized by the IC Design Branch of the China Semiconductor Industry Association and VeriSilicon Holdings, and is renowned as "one of the three major annual events in China's IC design sector." Awinic, a leading domestic analog and mixed-signal chip manufacturer (Stock Code: 688798), was invited as a key participant. The company delivered a keynote speech and introduced its ultra-low-power, ultra-compact AWA88188 smart audio amplifier chip for AI glasses, comprehensively showcasing its technological strength and ecosystem layout in on-device AI and smart wearables.

AWA88188 Highlights:
1) Advanced
Process, Low Power Consumption
The AWA88188 utilizes an advanced 55nm BCD process. Through architectural
optimization and low-power circuit design, it achieves a 36% reduction in
quiescent power consumption compared to previous generations, significantly
extending the battery life of end devices.
2)
Ultra-Compact Package
The chip features an extremely compact package, with a 40% reduction in chip
area and a 50% reduction in board area for the inductor-free solution (compared
to the previous generation), making it perfectly suited for the confined spaces
inside AI glasses.
3) High
Sound Quality Enabled by Feitian DSP™ 5.0
The AWA88188 is equipped with a high-computing-power, self-developed DSP (200
MCPS), eliminating platform computing limitations. It integrates proprietary
algorithms for noise suppression and surround sound, delivering high-definition
audio output without relying on external processors. This ensures clear call
quality and an immersive listening experience, providing reliable support for
voice interaction and audio playback in AI glasses.
